What fits
What fits in a Ford Maverick?
Measure smart
What to measure.
Four numbers decide nearly every fit check. Get these right and the rest follows.
- 01The opening width and height of the trunk or liftgate, not just the total volume, since the opening is what an item has to pass through.
- 02The load-floor length behind the rear seats, then again with the seats folded.
- 03The height available under the roofline or parcel shelf, measured at the lowest point.
- 04Your item at its widest point, including feet, handles, and packaging.
Don't make these
Common mistakes.
Most “it didn't fit” stories trace back to one of these oversights.
- ⚠Trusting the cubic-foot figure and assuming a wide item will fit, when the opening is narrower than the item.
- ⚠Measuring the cargo floor but forgetting the roofline tapers toward the opening.
- ⚠Ignoring that a full-size spare, subwoofer, or hybrid battery eats into the quoted volume.
- ⚠Folding only one seat when the long item needs the full flat load floor.
Frequently asked
Questions we keep getting.
How much cargo space does a Maverick have?
33.3 cu ft in the 4.5 ft Flexbed (54.4" × 42.6" between wheel wells × 20.3" depth). Multi-position tailgate holds 400 lb partially open — useful for 4×8 sheet goods or long items.
01Can I fit a 4×8 sheet of plywood in a Maverick?
Yes, with the tailgate open. The Flexbed has stamped slots in the bedside for 2×4s that create a second-tier deck, and the multi-position tailgate supports the overhang.
02Maverick vs. Tacoma bed?
Tacoma has a longer standard bed (60" vs. 54") and higher payload. Maverick counters with FWD/Hybrid economy, easier parking, and the Flexbed system. For daily errands and IKEA runs, Maverick; for job-site hauling, Tacoma.
